Re: What were your thoughts on what needed to be added to presentation

- The announcing crew is pretty good but repeat many lines. And if I here that I took a bad 3 one more time just because it was a fastbreak when I had Ray Allen open I will scream. Also show some emotion. When I hit a buzzer beating 3 I wanna hear Marv with more emotion saying "And he gets the bucket at the buzzer. What a shot!"

-Pregame show with some of the ESPN guys which will show how both teams are doing and there prediction for the game. Halftime show with highlights and what teams should adjust to. Postgame show with highlights and thoughts of the game. Probably not in 10 hopefully in 11.

-ESPN scoreboard

-Not sure if this counts as presentation but I want coaches to talk to me and tell me what to do like NCAA bball. For example 'Doc Rivers' will tell me to look for Garnett in the post. Or to push the ball or maybe try this play. Would be pretty sweet.

I wanted to see refs reviewing buzzer beaters.

I'm pretty sure they do this in 09.

Re: What were your thoughts on what needed to be added to presentation

From what we have been told, i think live10 will have nailed most of my gripes..

i just wanted the atmosphere in general different for reg/exhib games to playoffs/finals

and a few player specific chants..pity Bellinelli is gone,i was so looking forward to the rocky chants

Re: What were your thoughts on what needed to be added to presentation

This is the first stepping stone. I feel the same, they have re done a lot of my gripes. But I expect over the years for things to go over and beyond. There are still a lot of things that can be implemented that have never been done in a bball game but is definately possible. I don't want to hint too much I have contacted a dev via another source on this same issue. Looks great for the first yr out the hole though. Great job EA... I have to say it once again.

Re: What were your thoughts on what needed to be added to presentation

I like their whole design philosophy.

It's "What can we do to make this a better presentation of basketball?" rather than "What new gimmick can we market?"

From implementing replays during breaks in play, to varying crowd intensity.

I have nothing specific to add. At this stage, I would just like to see them tweaking and refining what they have already implemented.

Anything would be better than what they've had in the past.

Positive outcome, from the sound of it.

Re: What were your thoughts on what needed to be added to presentation

what really gets me excited is to feel like when the game starts on a exhibition what ever that I am immersed into the action, I want to be able to warm up in the shoot arounds, or stuff like if my player is injured during the game, if he comes back make us feel like he was injured by showing himn favoring the injury or slight limp..lol players reposrting to the sub table or coaches getting mad because someone is not following they're directions

how about if the ball rolls out to the crowd that someone gets up to give the ball back to the player or the ref. better collision when someone is getting dunked on I think I seen a little of it on the trailer for nba live 10, better sweat simulation and fatigue that would be noticable during the course of the game would make it seem more realistic, and when we see the faces of the players can you guys make their eyes move more naturally..

I remember how Michael Jordan would be in a tight game and the crowd would be against him and he would make a shot that would quiet the crowd and some times make the crowd go ooohhh, aaahhhhh for a crazy dunk he did or some game winning shot..(stuff like that) make us feel like we are in a hostile environment. emotions is missing from this game in so many ways, like if a team is down and losing , they become more emotional for every turnover or mistake that is made to keep them down, (some how we need to feel the urgency to get back in to the game..either from the players, coach, or the crowd) just my two cents..lol

Starting Lineups - at least in the playoffs

The argument that regular tv broadcasts don't include the starting lineups is only true for regular season games. The playoffs (at least the Finals) broadcasts showed the starting lineups. I never liked that the NBA games took these out.

Re: What were your thoughts on what needed to be added to presentation

I'd like to see better improved broadcast camera zooms. I love watching hyped games (particularly in the playoffs) when someone gets dunked on or a BIG 3 has been made the broadcast camera shows the whole arena go crazy. Either they'll show the broadcast angle and zoom out where the whole 100 and 200 sections is going crazy and they'll zoom back in to the on-court action. Or when its commercial time or (dead ball) they show the BIG play from the "entire arena" perspective and show the whole place going crazy (ex. when lebron hit the game winner on ORL game 2) I think this type of camera zoom presentation would be great as far as an excitement level and showing your pumped up crowd scream DEFENSE when your on a run. Same thing goes for when you quiet a run, nothing is better than seeing 20,000 screaming fans sit their lil fannies back down in disappointment

^^ Yeah that would be great!

Re: What were your thoughts on what needed to be added to presentation

I'd also like to see a 360 axis replay system like espn uses when they break down a play. Or maybe a breakdown simular to Madden 09 when they breakdown what play you ran and show an open man you missed or why the defense was sucessful stopping a play.
